::Thanks for your note. You are welcome to wait and see what others say -- I am only one usor!
::I was just looking around the wikis on the subject of ''Don Quixote''. En:wiki and the Wikidata page say that the language is "Early Modern Spanish" but es:wiki says it is "Español medio", which means something quite different, and fr:wiki more wisely leaves it at "espagnol". That's just one example of the possible disagreements. [[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew Dalby]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby|disputatio]]) 12:48, 1 Iunii 2016 (UTC)
 
== Categories ==
I noticed you said you might help with categories. If you like, you could look at our category guidelines [[Vicipaedia:De categoriis]] (there is an English version). A couple of ideas occur to me, but you may think of others completely different!
 
We often make categories for people, such as historical figures, artists, writers, music people, if there are three or more relevant pages. I did this for [[:Categoria:Modestus Musorgskij]] today (because I happened to notice a relevant page that you had edited). Person categories are always added to subcategories of [[:Categoria:Categoriae ex hominibus appellatae]]. After making a person category, one needs to add it to Wikidata if possible. Often the best place to find the Wikidata entry is via a Commons category page, because, even if not many other Wikipedias have a category for the person, Commons usually does. No great knowledge of Latin is required! You just adopt the Latin name from our biography page.
 
We also make categories for universities, university teachers ("professores") and alumni. If I see very short biographies (we have many) I often make them longer by adding information about university education etc. This demands a little Latin, however, to feel confident about confirming a Latin name for the university and then using the genitive of that name for teachers and alumni.
